Ch. 1401..1410
Chapter 1401
Yvette asked, “What’s your plan?”
Having gotten exactly what she wanted, Lyna smiled excitedly as she envisioned the pain on Fabian’s
face after losing Hannah.
This stupid woman Yvette regards herself so highly, thinking she can make Fabian hers just because
she’s a celebrity. Fine. Since Fabian plays his cards well, I’ll let you live out his games. What a tragedy
that you won’t have his love. Even if Hannah can’t get him, neither can you, Yvette!
Although Lyna had those thoughts, she kept the same expression on her face and said, “I’ll work with
you to make Hannah leave Fabian, then you’ll take her spot. After that’s done, you’ll give me one
billion, and I won’t ever appear in front of you and Fabian again. How’s that?”
“Okay. I’ll work with you.” Yvette nodded.
Meanwhile, Hannah, who was lying on the hospital bed, opened her eyes groggily. After coming round,
she felt that something was amiss but could not figure it out.
“Shh. We’ll talk about it later. Let’s go in first.”
Suddenly, Hannah heard Fabian’s voice and could not help but wonder if he was hiding something from
her.
Then, she closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious.
After the doctor checked her condition, he walked out with a solemn look on his face.
Fabian followed him outside, but the door was left ajar, so Hannah could clearly hear what they said in
the corridor.
“How’s she, doc?” Fabian sounded anxious.
The doctor sighed and replied in a serious tone, “The miscarriage has damaged her uterus, so it may
lead to infertility in the future. But I can’t say for sure. As long as she takes care of her body well after
this, she might still have a chance to get pregnant.”
At this, Hannah felt like her world was falling apart. Shaking her head, she could not believe what she
had heard.
“How could it be? How could it be?”
Why is this happening to me? My happy life has only started, so how could it end just like this?
Fabian’s the president of a company, and he’ll definitely want an heir.
Feeling sorry for Fabian, she started to blame herself for failing to protect her baby and herself.
She couldn’t be bothered to hear Fabian’s reply to the doctor’s words anymore. When Fabian came
back in and saw her crying, surprise crept up his face, but he soon acted like nothing had happened.
“It’s okay, Hannah. We’re still young. We only lost the baby because it’s not the right time yet. We can
have as many kids as you want in the future. After all, I can afford it anyway.”
His attempt to downplay it irked Hannah, but she knew that he would definitely send someone to look
after her if she made her true feelings clear. If that was the case, she would not be able to leave him.
“Yeah, we’re still young.”
She nodded with a wry smile. So what if we’re young? I’m infertile, so I can only live alone for the rest
of my life.
“I had someone make you some nutritious food. Have some,” Fabian told her as he opened the food
container and sat down in front of her.
Nodding, Hannah pretended like everything was fine while Fabian fed her the food.
Although Hannah seemed emotionally stable, Fabian was distressed deep down. He would rather see
her defy him than watch her act like this.
Fabian put off all company matters and paid no heed to Yvette and Lyna just so he could keep Hannah
company.
It was not until late at night that Hannah shed tears again after seeing that Fabian had fallen asleep.
Early the next morning, Lyna called Heather. It was the first step of her plan with Yvette. They knew
that Heather would not let Hannah be with Fabian if she was aware that Hannah would not be able to
bear an heir for the Norton family.
Chapter 1402
“Hello, Mrs. Norton.”
Lyna could not help but feel delighted at the thought of Hannah’s infertility. She had initially planned to
make Hannah miscarry and set her up again afterward. To her pleasant surprise, Hannah actually
became barren. She was so thrilled that she could not sleep for the entire night.
“Who is this?” Heather asked dubiously as she did not make out that the caller was Lyna.
“Mrs. Norton, it doesn’t matter who I am. I just want to let you know that the Norton family are about to
see the end of their bloodline,” Lyna replied in a casual tone. I wonder how angry she will get upon
learning the truth.
“What nonsense are you spouting? Are you a scammer? How dare you try to cheat me?”
After hearing Lyna’s words, Heather could not help but get infuriated, assuming that Lyna was a
scammer.
“Haha. Calm down, Mrs. Norton. You can just go to the hospital to find out if what I said is true,” Lyna
suggested.
At this, Hannah began to wonder if something had really happened to Hannah or Fabian. Fabian’s my
only son. If he’s…
Before she could say anything, Lyna went on, “To tell you the truth, your dear daughter-in-law is now
infertile, but your dear son loves her. Hence, your family bloodline will end with your son.”
Having said that, Lyna could not help but sigh. “I feel sorry for you. After all, you should be enjoying
your life at this age, but sadly, you won’t be able to have a grandchild. How pitiful…”
Lyna’s words made Heather tremble in anger, and her phone dropped to the floor with a loud thud.
Standing rooted to the spot, she was unable to regain her composure even after a long while.
Hearing the noise from the other end of the line, Lyna could not help but smirk. It’s time for me to enjoy
the show. After Hannah goes to the hospital and confirms that Hannah is indeed barren, she’ll surely
think of a way to make her leave Fabian.
“Get the car ready!” Heather instructed the butler after she came to her senses.
Given that it was a serious matter, she wanted to find out the truth personally. If it was, she had to have
a talk with Hannah.
Meanwhile, Hannah was still in deep slumber because she only fell asleep after crying for a long time
the night before.
After waking up in the morning, Fabian instructed someone to prepare breakfast for Hannah before he
left.
Soon, Heather arrived at the hospital. Phoenix Group was the top company in the country, so she was
greeted by the deputy director, who went up to her as soon as he saw her in the hospital, “Mrs. Norton,
what brings you here?”
“How can I not come after something so serious has happened?” Heather asked rhetorically.
While on her way to the hospital, Heather had confirmed that Hannah was hospitalized, but she did not
know the details. She was a little displeased that no one actually told her about the hospitalization of
her daughter-in-law.
The deputy director noticed her displeasure, so he said awkwardly, “I think Mr. Norton just doesn’t want
you to worry.”
Heather glanced at him and stopped dwelling on it. Instead, she asked, “Anyway, how’s Hannah now?”
The deputy director was in a tight spot as he did not know how to answer Heather’s question. What if
Mr. Norton doesn’t want his mother to know about the truth? But I’ll be in trouble too if I don’t come
clean with her.
“What are you doing standing there in a daze? Answer me!” Heather prompted impatiently as the
deputy director was still hesitating.
“Yes, Mrs. Norton.” The deputy director swallowed hard and continued, “Ms. Hannah Young’s
miscarriage has injured her…”
Chapter 1403
“What?” Heather asked agitatedly. Miscarriage?
“Um, yes, Ms. Young had a miscarriage.”
At this, Heather staggered backward with a dazed expression on her face and tears in her eyes. My
grandchild is gone just like that?
The maid accompanying her hurriedly stepped forward to support her for fear that she would pass out.
“Mrs. Norton, I’m sorry for your loss,” the deputy director comforted her, feeling a little regretful for
telling her the truth.
“So tell me honestly, has Hannah become infertile?” Heather asked sorrowfully after a long silence.
With a torn expression, the deputy director gave it some thought before he nodded firmly.
Heather could not help but gasp as her heart sank.
The grief she felt over the loss of her grandchild was greater than that of Fabian as she had always
wanted an heir to the Norton family.
“Take me to Hannah’s… ward,” she said, her voice breaking and her eyes tearful.
Later, the door of Hannah’s ward opened with a click, and Heather emerged. Having lost her
grandchild, she looked like she had grown a few years older and even appeared to have more crow’s
feet.
Hannah was still asleep, so she did not know that Heather had come.
Her swollen eyes from all the crying stood out against her pale face.
Heather noticed the frown on Hannah’s sleeping face and knew how she must be feeling deep down.
At the same time, the deputy director had brought over a chair and placed it next to Hannah’s bed.
After Heather sat down, he left the ward with the maid.
“Hannah,” Heather called out in a soft voice.
After a while, she shook her head and lamented, “Poor girl…”
Unable to hold back her tears anymore, she began weeping.
“I know you’ve had a miscarriage because of Fabian.”
In fact, Heather had already thought the matter through. She knew that the culprit who caused
Hannah’s miscarriage must have done it out of jealousy of Fabian’s status.
“But…”
She stopped midsentence upon seeing that Hannah’s fingers twitched.
However, Hannah remained asleep, so Heather continued, “But what should I do? Tell me what I
should do as Fabian’s mother.”
Heather had on a bitter expression. After Fabian’s father was arrested, he became the only man in the
family. She thought that she could enjoy the rest of her life after he got married, but unexpectedly,
something unfortunate happened to their family.
“Hannah, you have to know that Fabian is the only man left in our family. He’s also the one who
manages Phoenix Group and made it the top company in the country. Putting aside an heir, if I really let
the Norton family bloodline end with Fabian, I’d be too ashamed to face Fabian’s father and all the
Nortons’ ancestors after I die.”
A strong sense of depression came over Heather. Hannah is a really great person. Not only is she
beautiful, but she’s also kind-hearted. She and Fabian are quite a match made in heaven too. But now
that she’s barren, as the head of the Norton family, I can’t possibly let her stay in the family.
“Hannah, I hope you won’t blame me for being cruel. You’ll understand when you’re in my position one
day. I’m someone’s daughter-in-law too, so I know that this is unfair to you,” Heather went on after
wiping the tears off the corners of her eyes.
Chapter 1404
“After you wake up, I’ll have a talk with you and give you a sum of money that’s enough for you to live a
comfortable life abroad. I hope you won’t ever come back here again. After all, you should know that
Fabian is very loyal even though he may seem a little indifferent. I’m afraid that you’ll affect him if you
do. Please don’t blame me for being selfish. I really don’t have a choice. If you really love Fabian, y-you
should leave him.”
After speaking, Heather rose to her feet and walked up to Hannah to brush away the messy hair on her
forehead before leaving.
She did not know if Hannah could hear what she had said. In fact, she had only spoken because she
felt sullen, bottling all her emotions up. Looking at Hannah, she could not help but feel sorry for her.
That was why Heather told her those heartfelt words.
But of course, she would still tell her the same thing after Hannah woke up. In order to ensure the
continuation of the Norton family bloodline, she was determined to make Hannah leave even if Fabian
would fall into misery again.
“Fabian will get over it.”
Sighing, Heather closed the door behind her.
After she left, Hannah opened her eyes, and tears immediately raced down her cheeks.
She had actually woken up when Heather called her name. Knowing that the latter must have
something to say to her, she pretended to be asleep.
At that moment, she flashbacked to the sweet times she spent with Fabian; when she fell sick, Fabian
fed her chicken soup; when she insisted on eating at the roadside stalls, he accompanied her despite
his status and identity; when something happened to her, he was always the first to come to her
rescue.
As memories filled her mind, she felt increasingly agonized, and her body began to tremble
uncontrollably.
She did not even bother to wipe the tears off her face, allowing them to stream down her cheeks and
land on the pillow.
After some time, her pillow was soaked with tears.
Taking a breath, she slowly got up. Her pale face indicated that she was not in good shape. Even her
lips were drained of color and had cracked due to dehydration.
Pushing back the blanket, she got out of bed and wore her shoes. After taking one last glance at the
ward, she walked outside in a hospital gown.
Earlier on, Fabian had sent Natasha over to the hospital, but the latter had been sitting outside the
ward for fear of disturbing Hannah.
“W-Why did you come out?”
Seeing Hannah, who was looking pale and frail, Natasha hurriedly went up to support her.
“Natasha.”
Even until that moment, Hannah still did not realize that Natasha was someone sent by Fabian to
protect her and still treated her like her own sister.
“Don’t worry. I’m fine,” Hannah said with a forced smile. Yet, her voice was as feeble as that of a dying
person.
“Hannah, you…”
Natasha was heartbroken to see Hannah in such a state. Despite being an assassin, she was touched
by how well the latter had treated her.
Not giving Natasha any chance to speak, her pale lips parted as she instructed, “Natasha, send me
home.”
““Um, Mr. Norton said… Okay!”
Natasha felt her heart wrench in pain at the sight of Hannah’s ashen face. It was as if a needle was
pricking her heart that steeled from years of being an assassin.
With Natasha’s help, Hannah soon left the hospital and got into a car. As she was wearing an
inconspicuous hospital gown, no one noticed that the patient who left was actually the wife of Phoenix
Group’s president.
Chapter 1405
“Hannah…”
After they boarded the car, Natasha felt that something was amiss and wanted to ask Hannah the
reason she insisted on returning home.
Hannah placed her finger on Natasha’s lips. After taking a deep breath, she said, “You know what? My
husband loves me the most.”
The heartbroken Natasha replied, “I know, Hannah.”
Shaking her head, Hannah rebuked, “No! You don’t know the things he has done for me!”
Although Natasha couldn’t figure out the reason Hannah had brought up such an odd topic, she kept
her concerns to herself and listened to Hannah.
However, Hannah looked out the window and went dead silent halfway through their conversation.
Natasha wasn’t too bothered by Hannah’s behavior because she thought their relationship had
improved after Fabian rescued her.
Little did Natasha know, Hannah had found out that she might not be able to conceive for the rest of
her life.
When the car pulled over in front of the villa, Hannah’s face puckered in pain. Her body ached just
because the car had shaken after it was brought to a halt.
With Natasha’s aid, she then alighted the car. She could finally return home; the house she was
supposed to live in with Fabian for the rest of their lives.
The moment she stepped into the foyer, tears streamed down her cheeks as she was overwhelmed by
the familiar surroundings. Fabian had decorated the entire place based on her requests. It was her first
time here after the renovation, and she was pleasantly surprised.
Hannah requested in a quivering voice, “Bring me to my room.”
Natasha nodded and did as she was told.
The moment Hannah opened the door to her room, the emotions associated with the countless
memories she had in the room came flooding out again.
Hannah moved away from Natasha and took a step forward, asking, “Why don’t you return to your
room and let me take a short break?”
Natasha, who was right behind Hannah, hesitated when she heard Hannah’s request. After giving it
some thought, she nodded and said, “If you need anything, please let me know.”
As Natasha’s room was right next to Hannah’s room, the latter would merely have to raise her volume
to reach Natasha.
When Natasha reached the door, Hannah’s muffled voice could be heard, requesting in a sincere
manner, “Please keep my return between us for the time being. I’ll tell him when the time comes.”
After a brief pause, Natasha agreed and walked out of Hannah’s room.
Once she returned to her room, she wondered if she should report Hannah’s condition to Fabian
because she felt that there was something amiss about her.
All things considered, she decided to drop him a text. Natasha: Mrs. Norton has returned home.
Once she sent the text, she heaved a sigh of relief. Afraid that something might happen to Hannah, she
thought it would be better to keep Fabian informed.
Meanwhile, after Natasha left, Hannah sat on the edge of her bed and took out a document that was
kept in the drawer of the nightstand.
She guffawed as she held the divorce agreement that was prepared beforehand.
Never would she have thought the thing she prepared after they were married would one day be of
use. Initially, she thought she could spend the rest of her life by his side, yet things had taken a turn for
the worst.
“It’s going to be fine! Perhaps it’s just another bad joke from God!”
Hannah tried to console herself, yet her eyes started brimming with tears once again.
Gritting her teeth, she looked in the mirror and warned herself, “Hannah, can you stop crying? It’s so
annoying!”
She proceeded to place the divorce agreement on the coffee table in the living room. In fact, she had
signed the agreement about six months ago.
After she returned to her room, she opened her wardrobe and stuffed some clothes into her backpack.
Chapter 1406
Caressing her backpack with a bright grin, she muttered to herself, “I guess I’ll have to trouble you for
one last time.”
She had purchased that backpack of hers after joining the workforce. It had been through all sorts of
adventures with her as a journalist and witnessed the ups and downs of her relationship with Fabian.
When she turned around and saw the white wedding gown in the wardrobe, she felt a sense of despair.
Perhaps because she had not worn it anymore after their wedding, it seemed so lonely in the
wardrobe.
Blinking her eyes, she retrieved the wedding gown and embraced it.
“You’re coming with me!”
The gown was a custom-made piece that Fabian had ordered for Hannah. It was the only wedding
gown she had put on and also the only one she would ever wear.
After that, she brought the wedding gown and the backpack with her as she left the room.
Soon, the cab she hailed showed up.
Staring at Natasha’s room, Hannah was worried that she would have a hard time searching for
accommodation after her departure. Is she going to be fine? What about her language class?
As she thought about it, she headed toward Natasha’s room.
Hannah had her eyes glued to the handle of the door. After much hesitation, she decided to lock it.
When Natasha heard the click, she jumped out of bed and sprinted over. Nonetheless, it was too late.
She tried to open the door, only to realize that she had been locked inside her room.
“Hannah, is that you? Why have you locked me up?” Natasha yelled anxiously.
Since she was an observant woman, no one could sneak into the house without alarming her. In other
words, it was Hannah who did it.
With that being said, she had a hard time figuring out the reason behind Hannah’s actions.
Meanwhile, Hannah heard Natasha’s yells, yet she decided to ignore her.
“Hannah, hurry up and open the door! What’s wrong? Why don’t you tell me about it? Perhaps we can
resolve it, right?”
As Natasha continued shouting, she searched high and low for a key in the room.
“Are you sure?”
Hannah was tempted for a few seconds, but she soon snapped out of her hesitation as she deemed
Natasha’s suggestion impossible. What can I possibly do to turn the tables when there’s nothing
Fabian can do about it?
“Please take good care of yourself!” Hannah yelled before leaving with her backpack and the wedding
gown.
“Hannah! Please open the door!”
Natasha screamed at the top of her lungs, yet she couldn’t hear Hannah’s voice anymore.
Her heart skipped a beat when she heard the sound of a car engine.
Could it be…
As she thought about it, she catapulted in the direction of the window. Once she braced herself for the
potential impact, she jumped out of the window.
She could feel a racking sensation as she landed on her back and rolled forward. In spite of the pain,
she forced herself to keep going.
Gritting her teeth, she pulled herself together with all her might and yelled, “Hannah!”
Then she rushed in the direction of the entrance.
Nonetheless, her effort was to no avail. By the time she walked out of the villa, she was greeted by the
sight of the departing cab and the blazing trail left behind.
Natasha was in a state of bewilderment. Why? What’s wrong with Hannah? Isn’t she in love with
Fabian?
Why did she leave without saying anything? Is this the way things work in Chanaea?
Immediately after she snapped out of her daze, she reached for her phone and called Fabian.
“Hello, Mr. Norton?”
“Yes? What do you need?”
Fabian, who was in the middle of perusing a pile of documents, had no idea about the sudden turn of
events.
Startled, Natasha asked, “Have you not received my text?”
Chapter 1407
“What is it?” Fabian asked, wondering if Hannah had regained consciousness.
“M-Mrs. Norton has regained consciousness—”
Putting his documents aside, he interrupted her, “Alright, I’ll head over immediately.”
Knowing that he was about to hang up the call and rush over to the hospital, she yelled, “Wait! I’m not
done yet!”
“What?”
Frustrated after losing the child, Fabian would have lost his cool if it weren’t because of his exceptional
self-restraint capability.
“Ms. Young left the hospital.”
“What? She’s left the hospital? What kind of joke is this? Who the heck allowed her to be discharged?
Send him my way immediately! If anything happens to Hannah, it will be the end of him!”
He couldn’t keep his composure anymore because Hannah was supposed to have at least a week’s
bed rest, given her frail state.
But now that she had been discharged much earlier than that, her body might not be able to take it.
“She didn’t acquire anyone’s consent to be discharged, insisting on going home. After we were back,
she locked me in my room and left on her own.”
Natasha knew that Fabian would be infuriated, yet she braced herself and told him the truth.
“Come again? Why the heck didn’t you report something so important earlier? Are you sure you’re a
qualified bodyguard?” Fabian spouted harsh remarks at Natasha.
No one could possibly remain calm when their beloved spouse had miscarried because of someone
else’s malicious scheme. To make matters worse, Hannah had become barren. If something bad were
to happen to her, Fabian would spend the rest of his life in guilt and sorrow.
“I…”
Natasha knew Fabian must have missed her text message because he was way too occupied.
Moreover, she was the one at fault because she could have stopped Hannah from leaving the hospital
by informing Fabian of her plan.
“Where are you? Where was Hannah heading to?”
Fabian had no time to reprimand Natasha. Instead, he needed to figure out Hannah’s current
whereabouts to stop her from leaving.
Unfortunately, Natasha had no idea. She answered, “I’m currently in front of the villa, but I’m clueless
about her whereabouts.”
Fabian hung up the call immediately and made another call to instruct his trusted aide. He yelled into
the phone, “I want the entire city to be sealed immediately! Get in touch with those from the police
station and get them to set up barricades on all major highways! Search for Hannah! If she’s not found,
all of you will be terminated!”
After ending the call, he headed out of his office and returned to the villa to gather all the details from
Natasha.
He was overwhelmed by regret because he should have stayed with Hannah instead of returning to the
company.
Nonetheless, he had no choice because Phoenix Group was in the midst of a crisis after Lyna plotted
against him.
Should he fail to solve the issues in time, things might spiral out of control. Worst of all, the Norton
family might not be one of the five prominent families anymore. Moreover, he needed to avenge
Hannah too, so his trip back to his office was inevitable.
Meanwhile, Hannah, who was in the cab, looked out the window and started weeping as she stared at
the trees that were disappearing from sight.
When she saw her favorite pizza joint, she reached her quivering finger out and pointed at it.
The moment she figured out that she had lost the ability to conceive, her mind went completely blank.
Because of her deep love for Fabian, she couldn’t bear to have him live a life without a complete family.
She knew the proud man would not want to live a miserable life without a successor to inherit the
empire he had built.
Chapter 1408
Unfortunately, she couldn’t fulfill his wish because she had lost the ability to conceive. Should she
continue to stay by his side, he would have to live a life filled with regrets.
As she thought about it, torrents of grief streamed down her cheeks once again.
Passing by the streets, she could vividly recall her memories with Fabian.
Those sweet memories had morphed into heart-wrenching ones after she realized that she couldn’t
spend the rest of her life with the man she loved.
Meanwhile, as Fabian rushed all the way back to the villa, a sense of dread overcame him. Hannah,
I’m coming now. Please don’t do anything reckless!
When he showed up at the entrance, Natasha rushed over and greeted, “Mr. Norton…”
She recounted the entire timeline of the incident, including the things Hannah had said because she felt
that those were intended for Fabian.
Having listened to everything, he rushed into the villa immediately. He had a hard time believing that
Hannah had left him. Deep down, he felt as though she was still anticipating his return to the villa.
Nonetheless, he had no choice but to accept the harsh reality because the goofy and lovely woman,
who was all smiles whenever he was around, was nowhere to be seen.
As if drained of all energy, he slumped onto the ground. At that moment, he was just like any other man
who had lost his most beloved woman.
I’m the reason she left. That silly woman doesn’t want me to live with the regrets of not having a
complete family.
In his trance, he saw Hannah supporting herself with all her might, bidding farewell to him, “Goodbye,
Fabian. It’s over.”
Hannah, you’re wrong! Not being able to have a child is nothing compared to losing you! I can’t
possibly live a life without you!
At that thought, his eyes started welling up, and only then did he realize that he was capable of feeling
emotions too.
When he raised his head, he was surprised to see that the coffee table in the living room had been
tidied up, and his goblet was nowhere to be seen. In its place was a stack of agreements.
The moment he walked over, his eyes widened in disbelief upon realizing that it was a signed divorce
agreement.
Supporting himself while perusing the agreement, he was forced to accept the fact that Hannah had left
for good.
“Hannah, you’re such a foolish woman!”
The man’s voice cracked as he sobbed.
After tearing the divorce agreement into pieces, he cast them into the dustbin and muttered to himself,
“I will never get a divorce! You will always be Mrs. Norton!”
He was determined to locate Hannah and tell her how he felt about her. Then they would be able to put
everything behind them and spend the rest of their lives together.
Seeing the state Fabian was in, Natasha started blaming herself. Even at that point, she still couldn’t
figure out the reason behind Hannah’s departure because she wasn’t even aware of her miscarriage.
In the midst of her helplessness, she received a call out of the blue.
The call took everyone in the living room by surprise when it broke the dead silence.
Reaching for her phone, she was about to hang up the call but hesitated when she saw that it was a
call from the company. Fabian had merely dispatched her to the company to keep Hannah safe, so it
didn’t make any sense for the senior editor to call her when she was never assigned any other tasks.
Could it be…
Once the thought crossed her mind, she frowned and decided to pick up the call.
“Hello, is this Ms. Roma?”
Reluctantly, she answered the question, “Yes.”
Chapter 1409
“Ms. Young has instructed me to transfer the ownership of her property to you. Can you drop by the
office to collect the keys if you’re ?”
“Huh? Ms. Young? Are you talking about Hannah?” Natasha hurriedly asked, anxious to find out about
Hannah’s whereabouts.
Similarly, Fabian’s eyes flickered when he heard Natasha mentioning Hannah’s name.
The person on the other end answered, “Yes!”
“Can you still get in touch with her?” Natasha queried.
“I’m afraid that’s impossible because she contacted me about twenty minutes ago. When I tried to
revert back to her, she had switched off her phone.”
Natasha was disappointed by the person’s reply. With her eyebrows furrowed, she answered, “Okay.
Thanks.”
When she saw Fabian looking at her inquisitively, she told him everything.
Natasha was shocked by the fact that Hannah had taken her into consideration and arranged her
accommodation even though she decided to leave.
Shaking his head while leaving, Fabian murmured to himself, “You have always been a kind-hearted
woman.”
“Hahaha! This is great! What wonderful news!”
When Lyna and Yvette heard that Hannah was gone, they let out a deep breath, relieved that their
efforts had finally come to fruition.
Lyna sneered, “You should have seen this coming for claiming the title of Mrs. Norton when you’re just
a nobody!”
She held a grudge against Hannah because the latter saved Winson and took away the things that
were supposed to be hers. But worst of all, Hannah snatched her fiancé away. Therefore, Lyna had
only one goal in mind—to take Hannah out.
Identically, Yvette resented Hannah for her misery. She was merely a step away from getting married to
Fabian and becoming a top-notch celebrity, yet Hannah’s appearance had turned her life upside down.
Yvette remarked sarcastically with a contemptuous look, “Ha! She deserved it for picking a fight with
the wrong foes! If it weren’t because of Fabian, she wouldn’t have lived until today!”
“Fabian’s the next one on the list!” Lyna announced with her eyes narrowed to a slit.
Yvette knew she wasn’t as intelligent as Lyna. Thus, in an attempt to figure out their next best course of
action, she inquired, “What should we do?”
“If I’m not mistaken, he’s going to send someone to come after us. However, I haven’t figure out what
he’s up to. As long as we exercise caution and seize the opportunity to gain the upper hand, he’s going
to submit himself to us eventually!” Lyna analyzed the situation with a serious expression.
It was evident that she was intimidated by Fabian after her countless failed attempts to get the better of
him. Each time, she ended up making a narrow escape, so she was determined to be more cautious
this time.
Lyna was running out of money, but she was certain that Leo wouldn’t offer his aid for fear of offending
Fabian. After all, Fabian was an influential figure in the corporate world, and Leo would never put the
Blackwood family at stake for her sake.
“What do you mean?”
Yvette was on pins and needles when she heard Lyna’s words. At that instant, she felt a strong urge to
flee the country with her savings. After all, she was an escaped prisoner. Should she be captured, she
would be doomed.
“What are you afraid of? You don’t think you’re the only one at stake here, do you? After causing
Hannah’s miscarriage, do you think Fabian will show me any mercy?” Lyna asked rhetorically.
How the heck did she rise to stardom? I guess she must have spent countless nights in bed with
different men!
Yvette was aware that Lyna’s rhetorical question was a double innuendo to reprimand her. Hence, she
rebuked with her face puckered in irritation, “How am I supposed to calm down? Why can’t you explain
everything clearly to me?”
Why the heck do I have such an unreliable ally? She’s such a bimbo! Haven’t I made myself clear?
Why is she having such a hard time understanding what I said?
Chapter 1410
Since Lyna desperately needed cash, she couldn’t afford to offend Yvette just yet. In fact, she planned
to acquire a fortune through her unreliable ally.
With that plan in mind, she had no choice but to keep her frustration to herself.
Her lips twitched as she continued, “To keep it short and simple, we need to get someone to keep an
eye on Fabian. No matter what he’s going to do, I’m pretty sure he will resort to some dirty tricks. Once
we get our hands on the evidence, we can force him into submission!”
Yvette nodded in return, but almost immediately, she shook her head and queried, “Are you sure
there’s someone who dares to help us scheme against Fabian?”
“What kind of joke is that? Do you think he’s the president of the country? I’ll work out something one
way or another soon!”
A vicious smirk loomed over her face as she was certain she could easily coerce someone to do her
biddings. Nonetheless, she would have to bear some risks.
Yvette nodded in response since Lyna was her only hope to turn the tables around. Should the worse
become the worst, she would flee abroad. On the other hand, if they could achieve their goals, her life
would take a turn for the better.
“Any updates?” Fabian, who had reached the airport, asked his trusted aide.
He replied, “Mr. Norton, we reached the airport five minutes after the call, but Mrs. Norton was nowhere
to be seen.”
As his trusted aide was aware of the affection Fabian had for Hannah, he was pretty mindful of his
words for fear of offending the quick-tempered man.
Fabian furrowed his brows in silence and decided to stay there to wait for Hannah’s arrival.
If she wants to travel abroad, this is the only accessible airport! As long as she’s here, I will find her
soon enough! I just need to ensure she doesn’t leave this airport.
However, contrary to his assumption, Hannah was traveling in a cab that seemed relatively miniature
on a narrow track.
Occasionally, she would see Fabian’s image in her mind, pleading in a gentle manner, “Hannah, please
come back to me.”
However, she shook her head and shrugged the man’s figure off her mind because she couldn’t carry
out her duty as his wife anymore and no longer deserved him.
“Fabian, if only all this is nothing but an awfully long nightmare…”
If that was the case, instead of curling up in the cab, she might get to return to him and spend the rest
of her life by his side.
After staring ahead for a long time, she finally felt better, breathing in the fresh air in the outskirts. She
shook her head and smiled, reminding herself to stop overthinking when everything had come to an
end.
When she left the hospital, she recalled her brother giving her the key to their mother’s old house.
It was left behind by their mother when she passed on. According to Winson, their mother had insisted
on passing the key to her because she felt indebted to her the most.
When Winson passed the key to Hannah, he said, “She has been blaming herself for not carrying out
the duty of a mother and failing to find you. Therefore, she wants you to have this as a token of
apology.”
Hannah’s mind was all over the place when she received the key. Nevertheless, she decided to hold on
to the keepsake for her beloved brother.
Although she was supposed to feel liberated after leaving, an inexplicable sorrow overcame her
instead. At the thought of going back to the desolated house, conflicting emotions rose in her.
Staring at the sky, she whispered, “I guess everything is finally over…”
